BURBANK, Calif. -- Willie Davis, a speedy center fielder whocollected two World Series rings, three Gold Gloves and was a two-timeAll-Star during his 14 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, has died. He was 69.
Davis was found dead Tuesday in his Burbank home, said Burbank police Sgt. Robert Quesada.
Policetold the Los Angeles Times that a neighbor found Davis' body. A causeof death was not immediately released, but police said they did notbelieve foul play was involved.
"He was beloved by generations ofDodger fans and remains one of the most talented players ever to wearthe Dodger uniform. Having spent time with him over the past six years,I know how proud he was to have been a Dodger. He will surely be missedand our sincere thoughts are with his children during this difficulttime," Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said in a statement.
Davis'teammates included Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Johnny Roseboro, JuniorGilliam and Maury Wills. He won his World Series rings in 1963 and 1965.
The Dodgers lost the 1966 series 4-0 to the Baltimore Orioles.In Game 2 of that series, in the last game of Koufax's pitching career,Davis committed a Fall Classic-record three errors in one inning whenhe lost one fly ball in the sun, dropped the next one, then overthrewthird base.
During the 1965 World Series, Davis stole three basesin one inning, including one where he had to crawl into second baseafter stumbling and falling.
Davis left the Dodgers in 1973 and went on to play for the Montreal Expos, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres and California Angels.
He retired after the 1979 season with a career .279 average and 398 stolen bases.
Daviswas born in Mineral Springs, Ark., in 1940 and moved to Los Angeleswith his family when he was still a boy. He attended Roosevelt HighSchool where he was a world class sprinter.
He was recruited bythe Dodgers and signed with them when he graduated in 1958, McCourtsaid. Two years later, he was in the majors. In 1961, he replaced DukeSnider in center field.
Davis still holds six team records. He isthe franchise leader in hits (2,091), extra-base hits (585), at-bats(7,495), runs (1,004), triples (110) and total bases (3,094).

i don't even argue with my friends or people i know when it comes to that stuff no more, if they think the stuff they got is real and if they think the players actually wear that low quality swapmeet indoor garbage they got from their "hookup" for $80 is real then good for them
whats sad is that he paid about $120 for it, if you do your homework on whats legit and whats not, you can find legit authentics for far less then that
